The trade union representing staff working for MPs is to hold an emergency meeting to discuss allegations of harassment and sleaze at Westminster.

The Parliamentary branch of union Unite will hold the meeting in a Commons committee room on Thursday.

It represents 600 members, including researchers and political advisers working for MPs.

Prime Minister Theresa May will meet other party leaders next week to agree plans on tackling sexual abuse and harassment in Westminster.

The Prime Minister said MPs from all parties are "deeply concerned" about allegations that have emerged in recent days and she has invited political counterparts to talks on setting up a grievance procedure.

But what can you do if you are sexually harassed while at work?

Mary Goldsbrough, employment law associate at Capital Law , helps us answer the key questions.

What is sexual harassment?

Under the Equality Act 2010, sexual harassment is when someone engages in unwanted conduct of a sexual nature, which either violates the dignity of the recipient, or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating, or offensive environment for them.

Essentially, if someone’s behaviour is inappropriately sexual, unwanted, and makes you feel uncomfortable, it’s sexual harassment. It can come in many forms – from comments and jokes, to emails or messages, or more overt physical action.

Every employee has a right to be free from harassment when they’re at work – and it’s the duty of the employer to enforce that, reports WalesOnline.
